Dear Rudy:

I am puzzled. If I look at the 7-fold nature of Man I find that we
(all of us) already are derived from the universal ATMA. [God -- the
UNIVERSE -- and each one of us are united all the time]  

Buddhi, wisdom [the "voice?" of Conscience or of MORAL NECESSITY -- that
which conforms in us with universal Karma] is already present and ready
to respond to any inquiry from the Lower Manas.  

Manas, (mind, the THINKER) is also present, and is active. 

As I see it, it is the dual bridge between the Higher Divine Individual
[ATMA-BUDDHI-MANAS] and the :[Lower Quaternary - the PERSONALITY] or

"Temporary Personality" or [Lower Manas, Kama, Prana and the 2 bodies
(astral and physical) ]

Speaking as and from the point of view of the Personality, and, using
the brain-mind, or, Lower Manas, I can sense that the ideal way of
living is to keep focussed on the Divine SELF (as you say) -- thus we
try to conform to the impersonal and universal Laws of Karma, and,
assist with our intelligence the whole of nature (including ourselves
and all around us).

The "line of communication" (dual Manas) is always there. We need to
recognize it, keep it constantly in focus and then try to make our
choices harmonious with the general will (the evolutionary trend) of
Nature (or DEITY).

If we can do this, then we are a "God" speaking to and acting on behalf
of GOD (the Universal DEITY). And we ought to recognize that DEITY (the
"All") under universal Karma, places every being in the right condition
and place -- and no man or priest can say that those are unnecessary, or
deviants to be reformed by force or compulsion. In other words all
religions are brother systems. No actual conflict is there. 

We can only do this kind of thinking and study for ourselves. None of
us can do it or can compel another to do it for themselves. But we can
offer this to be considered.

It is also true that there are for all of us the great Adepts -- the
ELDER BROTHERS -- who have made this condition their constant way of
living. They urge us to study, learn and apply - so that we may
graduate from the present School of living we are in, and join them in
their work and effort.

And as you say, this brings on an understanding of our true (or,
seemingly to us), "greater" responsibilities

Do I understand you correctly?

Best wishes,

Dallas

Dear Dallas,

I have heard repeatedly that one way to "cross over" is to begin to 
validate the Self by trying "to live in the eternal" as much as we can. 
To try to focus our attention on the Self when we need answers to 
universal questions, instead of looking for those answers on books. 
When we do that often, again and again, and keep our awareness on the 
Self we establish a line of communication with our better half. If we 
continue, that path continues to open and it becomes more accessible. 
At the same time all that brings more responsibility since more is 
revealed. This is what I have heard.

Best wishes to all,
Rudy
